Help save San Antonio’s homeless pets

The City of San Antonio approved $1.8 million funding for the Animal Adoption Center at Brackenridge Park to provide more adoption space for our city’s homeless pets. But the funding doesn’t cover the entire project. So Friends of Animal Care Services, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is trying to raise $400,000 by the end of summer to ensure groundbreaking begins this winter.

Why is building an animal shelter so expensive? “According to Sallie Scott, President of the Friends of Animal Care Services, it’s all about the plumbing. ”Every dog kennel, puppy area, and cat room must have a drain,” she says.

If you want to help, please send your tax-deductible donation to the San Antonio Area Foundation, 110 Broadway, Suite 230, San Antonio, Texas 78205-1974. You may also make your donation online by visiting www.saafdn.org. Please make sure you indicate that the donation is for The Friends of Animal Care Services.
